Show us your SHOES !!!

[Isshinryu101]

Perhaps I should search more carefully. In general, it seems that larger shoes tend to lose their proportion. What looks great in a 9 or 10 looks cartoonish in a 14. i know this isn't always true, but "the stretch" rarely works in shoe design.

Although I don't have your problem (I'm around an 8 1/2), I can certainly sympathize. Apparently, as feet get larger, they tend to grow longer to a greater proportion than they grow wide. The result is that many larger shoes look long & thin.

I saw these AE sharkskins in 13

I know that the whole Ed Hardy thing isnt alot of your styles but was very happy with how these turned out. Plus it was just a mean pair of boots to begin with

Who's Ed Hardy?

 

[foggy16]

Ed Hardy was a tattoo artist, that started custom painting on things including shoes. Now it is all prints, he has his own shoe line and you can see his tattoo art just about everywhere you go, cigarette lighter, caps, shirts.

This is an 80's pair Raichle hiking boots that my wife hand painted.

OK, Flat-top, I'm teased. What size are they?

A healthy size 12. I feel bad selling them, but I've had them for years and have never worn them.

Figures. I'd have to have 6 inch toes to get to a 12. Some bigfoot is gonna be really happy.

SERIOUSLY cool shoes! What a great NOS find. Suede seems to age much better than calf in terms of avoiding dryness, it seems.

By the way, was Worthmore associated with Florsheim, or were Copyright Laws much more lax back then. That Worthmore insignia looks VERY similar to the Florsheim from the same era.

Well, they're not quite NOS. They look like they may have been worn once or twice.
When you Google search Worthmore it does seem that they were indeed made by Florsheim.

Looks more like shop wear than concrete. The heels look pristine, and they would shoe street wear.

 

[foggy16]

yeah it looks like standard shelf wear from the pics.
